| 12:00am | Top Ten Yuri Countdown of 2006 | | | | As promised. And just under the gun, too, because I'm flying out tomorrow, and probably won't be able to post again for the rest of the year.Every year, when I post my Top Ten lists, I get comments like, "Why didn't you include 'xyz'? The answer is always the same - either 1) I simply haven't | | |
| 12:00am | Touka Gettan -- seiyuu pics and info | | | | On the brink of a new season, here is a look at the new shows, concentrating on staff and cast. The shows I'm looking forward to? As usual, it's hard to tell which shows will work for me, but I'm looking at Code E, Doujin Work, Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho, Moetan, Mononoke, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei,... | | |
| 12:00am | Yur i Anime News: Simoun Licensed | | | | My secret, insider, Deep Throat informant tells me that Yuri anime Simoun has been licensed by our good friends at Media Blasters. No street date yet, but I'm doing my damndest to get a Yuricon 07 exclusive. :-)Tune in for more news as it becomes available! | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Anime: Simoun | | | | Only about 6 months after the anime actually ended, I am *finally* getting around to doing an end-of-season review for the series that won my "Best Yuri of 2006" award, Simoun. Don't want to rush these things, y'know.The main reason I never got around to reviewing Simoun was that the fansubbers | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Anime: Simoun mid-season review | | | | Simoun first bleeped onto our yuri-dar as the manga series running in Yuri Hime magazine, followed almost immediately by the anime which debuted in April 2006.Now the Simoun franchise includes a great Original Soundtrack, an upcoming novel (link also upcoming when it becomes available), a PSP game | | |

| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Simoun | | | | I spend a lot of time here at Okazu commenting on random slivers of yuri lodged in the fingers of larger and un-yuri manga and anime series, so it's nice, sometimes, to be able to review something that was actually created to appeal to the Yuri fandom, and yet not jam-packed with nothing but | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Simoun, Megami magazine version | | | | I must have been prophetic last week. I said, "no more reviews for a while," went home and promptly became incredibly ill. I did make it to Jennifer's great lecture, and I'll talk about the book sometime in the future, but basically, I've been in bed since Saturday afternoon. I'm doing a | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime 5, Part 2 | | | | We pick up the thread of Yuri Hime 5 with a short post-"Hatsukoi Shimai" story set-up for the two cover girls, Mihiru (left) and Nachiru (right). They are the very bestest of friends and treaure each other but for some reason Mihiru did not join the same club as Nachiru at Tsunojo High! The | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime 6, Part 1 | | | | It's autumn once again. And with autumn comes many things - school festivals, leaf-watching and Yuri Hime. :-) Yes, Yuri Hime 6 is in, and once again it's full of yuri variety. The cover depicts Akiho, right and her beloved older sister ("Sis-con?" asks Touko-sensei sarcastically) Haruna from | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Manga: Yuri Hime, Volume 7 Part1 | | | | I was looking forward to Volume 7 of Yuri Hime, but I admit to a teeny little bit of apprehension. Volume 6 was okay, but not terribly strong as far as stories went. Several key artists were on hiatus or had stopped drawing for the magazine, and it left last issue, I thought, just slightly flat.I'm | | |
| 12:00am | Yuri Seiyuus? -- Koshimizu Ami "weds" Sanpei Yuuko | | | | Many seiyuusare said to be gay. There are Japanese websites like "Yuri Seiyuu News" and "Lesbian Seiyuu Research" devoted to tracking quotes that supposedly show one or another seiyuu is "rezu".Is it true? I don't know. Nothing on those websites proves it. But the seiyuusthemselves are the | | |
| 12:00am | Yuricon News, Yuri Manga News | | | | I was so ready to be clever and funny today, but it's just not happening. Instead, here's two pieces of important news:The Yuricon/ALC Publishing website is currently down. This is not a crisis (yet.) Due to Philip Mak's sudden death, we're moving servers. There's a lot I have to do and I'm | | |
